Those ratings are meaningless to me. Most of our team got between 3 and 5. That's not accurate at all. A team with that many 3-5 rated players would have lost by 100 points. I do think it's lazy to peek at the stat sheet and pretend to be an expert on how the game transpired. |

Your last sentence describes how the football media works. |

That would depend on the rating of the other team... they gave 13 Wet Toast players a 2-5 rating (including Sheppard who was the 2) - we had 12 in that range. WC average player rating was only 5.27. Our average was 5.5
I don't agree with some of the individual ratings but on paper they had us as the better team overall. Even taking Sheppard out we still shade them. So I think that's a fair assessment if you look at it that way _________________ https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/sav-sinks-the-dockers/ |

Ratings as I started this post were opinions of an AFL or other media person
I would rate the game in as much as we gave them a lead then overcame that
to stay in front but never able to get a real break on them
Reality was we rolled the dice and only one of the three in comers had game impact
That was Goldy and his lack of game fitness waned in those final 10 minutes
allowing a very rusty opponent of the leash
There was more to Saturday loss than Saturday—it was a season of disruption
of our back six. The ones who didn’t leave the side worked their arse off only to find the toughness that is finals footy
But we are still there and where there’s life there’s hope _________________ I'm not arguing--just explaining why i am right |

Interesting West Coast Adam Simpson praised the Sack saying how incredible it was how he came back
Said JK had at least 10 chances to get a goal only to be stopped by Goldy
Said it was only very late in the game that JK was able to play the way he could _________________ I'm not arguing--just explaining why i am right |
